UNSPSC 50534642: Dried non GMO quetzali melons

The variety of non GMO melons known as non GMO quetzali melons that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50534642 Dried non-GMO quetzali melons is a Commodity code that identifies a specific agricultural product, but state and local recent procurement activity shows little direct solicitation explicitly targeting dried melons as a line item. The code appears in the recent opportunities database primarily as a catalog classification rather than as the primary scope driver in active RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs. The broader grocery and fresh produce solicitations posted by school districts, state health agencies, and county governments do encompass produce procurement — including fresh melons, multiple fruit and vegetable categories, and processed food items — but dried non-GMO quetzali melons are not named as distinct line items in the representative opportunities currently circulating.

State and local issuing bodies posting produce and food-service contracts include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). Recent solicitations span fresh produce for school nutrition programs (Hancock County IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Georgia fresh produce procurement posted May 15, 2026), comprehensive grocery items supporting National School Lunch Program compliance (Bridgeport City BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), food and consumable products for state institutions (Texas HHS IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026), and senior meal services (Hillsborough County ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026). No recent opportunity names dried quetzali melons specifically or lists the code as the primary procurement driver. Vendors pursuing this Commodity code should verify line-item inclusion in active state and local produce or processed-food solicitations before committing resources, as current activity does not indicate sustained or direct demand for this specific product classification.
